Independent candidate Melina Hettiaratchi faces scrutiny, breaks rules
Monkey or Donkey business?
Courier-Journal reports: Jerry T. Miller, a former state representative and Metro Council member, filed a petition Jan. 16 to disqualify District 11 Metro Council candidate Melina Hettiaratchi from challenging incumbent Councilman Kevin Kramer, a Republican and the only other candidate in the race. State Rep. Jason Nemes, R-Middletown, is representing Miller in the case as a private attorney.
Mayor Greenburg: No masking for ICE
Masks for protestors but not for ICE
WLKY reports: Mayor Craig Greenberg has publicly stated his support for policies that would restrict law enforcement, including federal agents such as those from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from wearing masks during operations.
In early March 2026, he declared, "I don't think that federal agents should wear masks, just as I don't think any law enforcement should be wearing masks," with exceptions only for rare, specific circumstances like extreme weather or safety hazards.
His stance aligns with a refiled ordinance by Metro Council's JP Lyninger, a Democratic Socialist.
Pollio racks up debt for IVY Tech
Courier-Journal reports: When Indiana's community college system announced Marty Pollio as its president last spring, its board of trustees touted his experience as superintendent of one of the largest urban school districts in America.
"Marty Pollio is a results-driven, dynamic leader with immense heart and passion for students," said then-Ivy Tech Board of Trustees Chairman Andrew Wilson.
Now, Pollio's past success and management abilities are coming under question as his former employer grapples with a surprise $188 million budget deficit that came to light just weeks after he left.

C-J reports: Judge dismisses final charges against LMPD officers in Taylor case
A federal judge has dismissed all remaining charges against two Louisville Metro Police Department officers involved in drafting the no-knock search warrant that led to Breonna Taylor's fatal shooting in 2020.
Charles R. Simpson of the Western District of Kentucky signed an order on March 27 dismissing the charges against Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany with prejudice, meaning federal prosecutors cannot bring the same charges against them again using the same evidence.
The dismissal came a week after federal prosecutors asked Simpson to dismiss the charges “in the interest of justice.”
Lives wrecked. Reputations destroyed. Complicity by media in unproved and false narrative claiming civil rights violations. And Louisville has lost two outstanding officers.
This all happened under Democrat administrations in Louisville Metro. Carefully consider for whom you will vote in the Primary.
